Jade Mutua: Met Police officer 'not at fault' for killing aspiring social worker

Metropolitan Police officer who killed a woman whilst doing twice the speed limit in response to a knife gang call has been cleared by the police watchdog. PC Gary Watkinson was racing at 62mph in a 30mph zone to reports of a woman being threatened with a knife by a group just before 10pm on August 13, 2019, when he struck and killed Jade Mutua on Warwick Road in Kensington.

At 9.54pm, the 22-year-old from West Hampstead entered the road next to a parked Land Rover Freelander and was hit by PC Watkinson's car at 53mph, according to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

She sustained serious injuries and, despite the efforts of officers who gave her first aid at the scene, she died in hospital two days later.

An inquest, which ended on October 12 at Westminster Coroner’s Court, found the aspiring social worker died as a result of a road traffic accident. Now an IOPC investigation, which looked at the actions of police officers before the collision and the first aid they gave at the scene, has concluded those involved 'acted in accordance with the relevant policies and procedures'.
